Holly Bennett is the Editor-in-Chief of Special Editions at Today’s Parent magazine where she has worked for seventeen years. Her best qualification for writing The Bonemender is all the fantasy that she has read aloud to her children. (The Lord of the Rings three different times!) She read pages from her manuscript aloud to her youngest son at bedtime. “Aaron was my first editor,” she says. “He said to me one night, ‘You know, Mom, you use the phrase “smiled grimly” an awful lot.’ And he was right; I had!” Holly lives with her family in Peterborough, Ontario.
